I really don't understand why are these five big cats being put into stressful condition. They being flown from Namibia to India. It will be a 10 hours continuous journey which is very stressful for the animals. The forest officials of Kuno fear their mortality rate in India. Don't you think we human beings are playing with the lives of animals which we don't have any right to do. Why should these animals be stressed only because the two countries heads want them to?

I agree with you. There are some people who really believe that putting predators back where they used to be will solve the mistakes humans made over 70 years ago and as you said they will most likely not survive.

That is not the worst part, relocating any animal is not in their best interest as they are a lot like people so when a person is suddenly relocated to a place they are totally unfamiliar with they become frightened and that will happen to those poor predators as well. The worst part is that they will have to learn where to find food and if there is a human establishment with livestock then that would be the first place they would go to get food. That is a very bad situation for the animals and people.

@rebelann They are in a sanctuary and therefore would be given sufficient food by the forest officials.

The main point is big animals suffer from intense stress when they are made to travel. They have already passed through this stressful time. They had to be given anesthesia to take a 10 hours long journey. Now if they don't survive there's no point in giving them so much pain.

If people do not be stupid Kuno no problem. Problem is people can never share the earth and gosh forbid something is as pretty as them. Kuno gets put down for being a cat while human cats get a promotion and this coming from dog person.

The tigers are safe in Kuno but the officials opinion is that they are very fragile.

interesting topic. the bigger challenge for India is restoration and propagation of already existing wild animals in India. For example number of tigers in sundarbans has reduced down so there is discredit.

@aninditasen thanks Aninditaji the greatest problem is that the Indians continue using forest produce. Honey is collected in many reserve forests in illegal way. The wild animals also depend on them. When the produce reduce down the resources reduce down and the animals die

@sathviksouvik It's for the forest officials to restrict illegal deforestation and resource exploitation.

Propagation and proper protection is very essential. Proper forestation is necessary as well as keeping the nearby human habitation away from the tigers. The wild animals need expert medical assistance for survival.

I thing every exotics will survive in Indian climates especially on forests. Cheetahs are very strong cats, that they have good immunity to adjust and are adaptable. But still as you said they could be in jetlag for few days..he he

The present cheetahs the vets say are still fragile and so need proper feeding for good growth.

@Nakitakona WHO doesn't deal with animal conservation. It's the International Wild Life Organization' that deals with it.
